Problem (strange line)

Hi!
I'm italian and i'm sorry for my english.
I have a problem with the display of my MBP core 2 duo 2,2ghz with 10.5.1 (leopard).
I post an image, so you can say something.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/frenk/2515409167/

I saw this kind of line with a semicirle only when the display is on and when i have a blak or dark grey (or dark) image on display..
Please, help me!

Ok, that's better. Assuming that the mark is not just a smudge on the surface of the display (which I doubt, since you stated that they are only visible with the display on), it does seem like a hardware issue. The "swirls" at the upper left of the black area in the second linked image do look like cleaning/wiping smudges, but the line in the middle does not.
I would recommend a call to AppleCare. Not sure when you purchased your MBP, but with a 2.2 GHz C2D the earliest would have been the beginning of June, 2007. So, you are still covered under the 1 year warranty. But, I would advise that you contact them ASAP.
Worldwide phone contact numbers are on this linked page.
Hope this helps...

  • Strange lines appearing behind itunes

    I went away for the holidays, and when I got back I booted up my 2006 iMac. Today for the first time, there are strange lines appearing behind iTunes whenever it is open but not the active window. I tried quitting and restarting iTunes, but the lines come back. I wish I could upload a screen shot of what this looks like on my desktop, it's very weird. It does not happen behind any other program window. Only iTunes. The lines appear as if they are extensions of the iTunes window formatting, in line with the side bars, etc. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips for getting it to quit?

    I just wanted to add that I am also seeing the same problem: strange lines around the borders of the iTunes window. The most obvious ones are a set of four vertical lines running parallel to both sides of the iTunes window, although there are other strange bits as well, mostly around the top corners of the window, as well as a single thin horizontal line above the top of the iTunes window. These unusual lines started appearing "out of the blue" sometime in the past few weeks -- as in, not right after an update or any other configuration change to my mac... The only change I can say I did recently was to update to OS 10.6.6, although I know others who are running 10.6.6 and aren't having this issue with iTunes. I also wanted to add that in my case, I only see these strange lines when iTunes is the active window. Further to that, updating to iTunes 10.1.2 does not fix the problem, unfortunately.

  • Sporadic strange lines in my screen

    It happens sometimes that strange lines appear in my screen for some miliseconds XD. It's a short time but it finishes being unconfortable.

  • Strange lines on my screen

    Recently I have noticed strange lines appearing on the screen of my MacBook Pro - they appear and disappear randomly.  I have noticed it especially on and around icons, as well as around the edges of Finder windows.  Today it escalated to the point where I couldn't see anything on the screen (see attached screenshot).  My computer is about 3 years old and I haven't had any problems with it.
    I just recently upgraded to Mavericks - could this have anything to do with it?  The problem started shortly thereafter.
    Please help!!

  • Strange lines in JPG export. Artifacts?

    Hi guys,
    I've been having a problem recently exporting files as jpgs. I have a template for my blog -- one for a horizontal image and one for two verticals. I export these as JPG high at 72ppi.
    I've started seeing strange lines form on certain files. They're never in the same place twice and flipping anti-aliasing on and off doesn't change anything. I've created several different templates using different sizes and export resolutions and I'm still getting these lines. Any help would be appreciated.
    I've included a link to the original file without the red circles.

    The lines on my iPhone 2G are still there after it happend and after posting to this thread 3 months ago. There is no software solution for sure. It seems that, according to the following link:
    http://www.modmyi.com/forums/general-iphone-chat/410391-grey-lines-iphone-displa y.html
    2G iPhone users have to buy/install the entire assembly (glass, digitizer, LCD)
    3G iPhone users can buy/install the LCD only.
    Or make use of the warranty service...

  • Strange lines in pages while browsing (Render errors?)

    Strange lines that look like render errors show up while browsing, and seem to be triggered by moving the mouse & scrolling. I've also noticed that this problem seems to only occur when the browser is maximized. Rolling over links makes the link text pop ot from behind the lines.

    hello, please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]] - this should be the right link for your system: www.geforce.com/drivers/results/56378
    or in case this doesn't solve the issue, disable hardware acceleration in ''firefox > options > advanced > general''.

  • Problem with lines in Flash!!!

    Hello, I am currently using flash cs5.5. I am not having any software malfunctions or anything like that, I am just having a prolem with lines. When drawing with the pen, (or even pencil tool), is there anyway to make the lines you draw one solid line when you're done? For example, if tracing with the pen tool, each time you put an anchor, it creates a different line, which is fine while you're drawing it. I'm wondering is there anyway to select a certain amount of lines and make them one solid line? Let's say I am drawing an ear with the pen tool; by the time i am done drawing it, it is made up of 3 seperate lines. I did not know if there was anyway to select those three lines and make them one solid line? I know that I can double-click, but I just want to select the ear, not the entire head, (which is what happened when I double-click).
    Hopefully I got my question across, I'm not really sure how to describe it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Also too, on a 100% different note, I am also running into a different problem with lines. When drawing with the pencil tool, everytime I trace something with curves or bumps, by the time I let off the tablet, (this is not a tablet problem), the line with be in 100 different segments, even though I drew the line with one solid motion. It seems to do it more when I am working within a symbol. I do not know if there is a fix for this or not, but again, any help is greatly appreciated.
    Please do not get confused, both of these problems are 100% different from each other. The first is just something I am wondering if it exists. The second is more of a malfunction/glitch with the progam. Thanks again!

    Not sure if I understood you completely but let me suggest you a couple of things.
    1. Try drawing in Object mode. (available lower down in the tools panel. shortcut - J)
    The entire shape you draw now without releasing your mouse button will be treated as one shape object. These can be selected independently, broken apart (Ctrl + B) and even combined (Modify Menu -> Combine Objects -> Union). You can perform all the normal shape editing tasks as well on shape objects directly.
    2. For Pencil/brush tools, you can set the curve smoothness for your tools from the Properties panel -> Smoothness option.
    If you already have a line or curve drawn on Stage with too much of segmentation, you can select it then goto bottom of the Tools panel and click on Smooth button multiple times till you get the desired smoothness.,
    Hope this helps! Let me know in case of any doubts.

  • Strange lines

    I create tutorials for a company. Ever since I started using
    Adobe Captivate 3 (over a year), strange lines appear in the
    rendered version of certain screen shots. These lines only appear
    in a consistent group of screen shots. I have tried every angle I
    could think of to get rid of them including:
    Exporting the existing backgrounds and inserting them into a
    new project.
    Taking new screen shots.
    Importing the project into Flash 8.
    Pulling out my hair.
    Again, these lines do not appear in the project until I
    render it into a flash file and run it.

    Welcome to our community, Scoot
    Have you tried the following? Right-click the slides
    exhibiting the behavior and choose Properties. Then adjust the
    Quality. Perhaps JPEG or something else.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Strange line on my homepage

    Help. I can't get this strange line off my home page as it appears in Safari or any other browser. However, when it is open in iWeb, the line does not appear no matter what I do. Here is my url: http://web.mac.com/kerririchardson

    It looks like iweb generated a different CSS for the Welcome page than other page.
    You can fix that by changing the Welcome.css file, Welcome.css is located in Welcome_files folder.
    Open it with a text editor and search for: graphicshape_styledefault
    In that block, you see: *border: 1px #751b96 solid;*
    You either remove it or change 1px --> 0px

  • Speckles in shadows AND strange lines in highlights

    I've found that I get strange lines in highlights and intense constellations of speckles in shadows when changing treatment from colour to greyscale and back to colour in Lightroom 2.5. A reimported copy of the image will not display the effect. If I change nothing else, switching to library view makes the artifacts go away, back to develop and they reappear. If I change anything else, they are there to stay. The exported file includes the artifacts. My CPU is an Athlon XP (so no SSE2), OS is Windows XP SP3 32-bit. Images are from a Sony A700 fw v.4. Just thought I'd see if anyone else who wasn't on a PowerPC Mac is having these issues with this release as well?

    Yes. At least one more non-Power PC user reported this.

  • Every once in a while when I open my mail or a page I get nothing but strange lines of symbols.  Many of the symbols are black triangles with question marks in the center.  I completely reset it like new, but problem still exists

    Every once in a while when I open my mail or open a page I get lines of strange symbols like black triangles with question marks in the center.  I have reset the ipad2 to new condition but the problem still exists.

    A reset does not make tthe iPad "like new."
    First, let's ensure that we agree on just what is a Reset...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Strange Line In problem with my X-Fi Elite Pro. Stereo sound comes and goes

    I have an X-Fi Elite Pro with latest drivers installed. Everything works fine, except for the Line In port in Entertainment mode. I have an AverMedia TV/FM card and its audio output (stereo) is plugged in my X-Fi's Line In/Mic In (PCI). The problem is that I get sound only from the right channel but not from the left one, so the sound comes out in mono. From time to time, I get to hear in stereo (both channels) but it seems a random event. This input works just fine in Game and Creation modes btw.
    Stereo sound from this particular input comes and goes in random order and sometimes I get about 50% on the left and 00% on the right channel. Sometimes, left channel volume fades in and out slowly. I already did some troubleshooting such as set Line in/Mic In/Digital In to "Line In/Mic In", speaker diagnostics, checked it in Game & Creation modes, turned to default values and so on but I still get this problem.
    Seems pretty wired. A ghost in the machine! Creative products never seize to amaze us!

    Soo...your're calling me stupid? Well, perhaps your right, but then again, I might have a point!
    Read my post again.
    If you still think it's too low with SVM enabled and everything is turned up...then I'm affraid you're out of luck and might consider buying another speaker set, if it's a major issue to you.

  • Strange line speed and problem.

    Hey all, I am slightly frustrated as I use the internet a lot, and I do need a constant high speed, now I have seen my line test get around: 3000kbps.
    However my line keeps disconnecting randomly every day, atleast twice a day, and is very frustrating, just a quick note, my computer is DMZ'd, for a public IP address, so every time it disconnects it reconnects with a different public ip address, meaning instead of restarting my computer I need to do ipconfig /release /flush /renew etc. So it is quite annoying to do all that to get my internet back.
    And another annoying factor is that my next door neighbour (We are good friends) Can get ADSL2+ however when I test my line it only says ADSL1 (Using SamKnows broadband checker) which means he gets better speed.
    Here are the test results:

    Thanks for any help.

    Ring BT and regrade your broadband to ADSL2+, aka up to 20mbps. I think that will draw you into a new 12 or 18 month contract though, otherwise you will just have to wait.
    I can appreciate your neighbour is on ADSL2+ but when BT Wholesale upgrade the Exchange they do lines in bulk migration, usually a frame, or part of at a time. It is possible that your line at the exchange is on a different frame to your neighbour as that is certainly the case for my mine as I am on ADSL2+ but my friend next door is still on ADSL Max.

  • Missing images in web gallery- strange lines??

    When I make a web gallery and publish to .mac a couple of images appear to be missing or are cropped.. its really odd.. everything looks fine in the preview. Also I sometimes get these really strange thin lines through my images.. I usually dont notice them until I get my prints done.. Has either of these happened to anyone? Thanks.

    nikinoo --
    In the past I've experienced the same problem with some web galleries. The problem went away after I quit Aperture & then opened it up again. I then went and republished the problem gallery without a hitch.
    I too have experienced lines running through my images, but it's been quite some time -- The upgrades that Apple has released appear to have corrected the problems. It might be helpful for you to list what printing settings you are using, there are tons of people here who should be able to help.
